LEE BLESSING

COURTING HARRY

4m 2w

Adapted from Becoming Justice Blackmun by Linda Greenhouse, this play recounts the eight-decade friendship of Supreme Court Justice Harry Blackmun and Chief Justice Warren Burger. They met as small children in St. Paul and served together on the Supreme Court for more than fifteen years, where their friendship soured as their judicial opinions (particularly on Roe vs. Wade) ultimately diverged.
